# Prettier for Django Templates
This project uses Prettier with the `prettier-plugin-django-annotations` plugin to format HTML templates with Django template syntax.
## Setup
The project is already configured with Prettier integration in pre-commit hooks. The configuration includes:
1. `.prettierrc` - Configuration file with Django HTML support
2. `.prettierignore` - Files to exclude from formatting
3. Pre-commit hook for automatic formatting on commits
### Manual Installation
To use Prettier locally (outside of pre-commit hooks), you'll need to install the dependencies:
```bash
# Using npm
npm install
# Or install just the required packages
npm install --save-dev prettier prettier-plugin-django-annotations
```
## Usage
### With Pre-commit
Prettier will automatically run as part of the pre-commit hooks when you commit changes.
To manually run the pre-commit hooks on all files:
```bash
pre-commit run prettier --all-files
```
### Using npm Scripts
The package.json includes npm scripts for formatting:
```bash
# Format all static files
npm run format
# Check formatting without modifying files
npm run format:check
```
### Command Line
You can also run Prettier directly:
```bash
# Format a specific file
npx prettier --write path/to/template.html
# Format all HTML files
npx prettier --write "dashboard_project/templates/**/*.html"
```
## VSCode Integration
For VSCode users, install the Prettier extension and add these settings to your `.vscode/settings.json`:
```json
{
"editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode",
"[html]": {
"editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode",
"editor.formatOnSave": true
},
"prettier.requireConfig": true
}
```
## Ignoring Parts of Templates
If you need to prevent Prettier from formatting a section of your template:
```html
{# prettier-ignore #}
<div>This section will not be formatted by Prettier.</div>
<!-- prettier-ignore -->
<div>
This works too.
</div>
```
## Django Template Support
The `prettier-plugin-django-annotations` plugin provides special handling for Django templates, including:
- Proper formatting of Django template tags (`{% %}`)
- Support for Django template comments (`{# #}`)
- Preservation of Django template variable output (`{{ }}`)
- Special handling for Django template syntax inside HTML attributes
